lee says
“TOOL ME”
I need a table chop type saw, i think that’s what it’s called, one that does not have to be held in hand it’s attached to a table or something you just lower it to make a cut.
I’m working on 2 houses ( ours to sell and one to move into ) and have been using a mitre saw to make cuts. After a day of sawing my hand swells and is painful. 60 yo woman with arthritis in my hand.
Hubby has purchased a few inexpensive tools like a dremel head to cut glass tile, and oscillating saw that will make small cuts and a nail gun. That $15 nail gun did half a room of quarter round in about 10 minutes. The day before i spent all afternoon on the other half trying to drive brads with a hammer. I realized then that the proper TOOLS are the bomb!
Love Young House Love!
